Who Do You Aspire to Be?

I've found that one of the greatest sources of aspiration lies from someone else's achievements.


Who do you aspire to be? 
Doctor?
Ph.D?
Physist?
Professor?
CEO?
Senior Director?
Someone who has a patent?

How much respect do you give to these people?  Despite the growing suspicion against authority and those people who have "titles," you know that these people get a LOT of respect.  To be honest, I want to be one of these people.

One of the things on my bucket list is to have a patent.  Currently, UC Davis' Chancellor Linda Katehi has 17 patents.  Crazy!!! To be honest, I don't care if it gets popular.  I just want to be the person who invents something that I perceive to be useful.
